S. guns, planes and ships, launch a "counterat tack" on Communist China, In a speech prepared for deliv ery before a joint session of -Congress, the fiery 79-year-old Korean leader said: "Let us remember that peace cannot be restored in the world half Comunist and half Demo cratic. ' , . ' , "Your momentous decision Is needed now to make Asia safe for freedom, for that will automatical ' ly settle the world Communist problem In Europe, Africa and America." Rhee told Congress the essence of Soviet strategy for world con quest is to hill Americans into a "sleep of death by talking peace until the Soviet Union possesses enough hydrogen bombs and inter- . continental Dormers to pulverize th atrfipMa atwI nroductive cen ters of the United States by sneak attack.

Paul Geddes handled a political hot potato with exception al laclc of bias. News - Review Correspondent Arthur Sclby said the discus- lion dealt with federal control of power as against local or private control and its effect on the econ omy of the various communities. Geddes illustrated his report with maps showing comtemplated-i - dams for power purposes in the Columbia River Valley and tribu tary streams in the central part of the state. He also explained its ' effect on taxation as well as elec tricity rates. He did not, however, take a stand on either io nf the power problem which stands high as a national issue. He explained to the 20 members present that he would only delineate the facts and leave the conclusions to the individual members. The meeting was held at the Red Barn.

S. policy, expressed by both President Eisenhower and Secre tary of State Dulles. Both said publicly last week the United States does not favor resumption of the Korean War. "The American Air Force as well as the Navy would be needed to insure the success of the coun terattack on the Red Chinese re gime," Rhee said, adding: "But I repeat, no American foot soldiers." And, the South Korean leader asserted: '"the Soviet Union wHl not stop of its own volition. It must be stopped." 20 Divisions Offered Urging the United States to act now, Rhee said the Republic o!

The play got underway some 10 minutes behind schedule, the in troductory scene at the observa tion tower of the Empire State Building in New York City moved at a slow pace, too. But, it set the plot. The story fans in a M-nour-pe riod. It concerns a young archi tect, Don Grsfoam, on the re bound from an "almost engage ment" to the daughter of the suave roue. David Slater, and Miss Patty O'Neill, a young mod el and would-be television actress. Miss O'Neill s ofttimes penetra ting observations concerning life and her unhesitating manner of auestionig tied the play together in a fast, merry manner.

His role, the strongest in the play, does credit to the castir of Director Horace Robinson. Robinson, incidentally, did a sur prise bit part in the play. He ap peared as Michael O'Neill, Miss O'Neill's father. The scenery for "The Moon Is Blue," limited to a make believe observation tower and a bachelor apartment, blended into the story line easily, never overshadowing the players.

The 1,000-page bill now goes to the Senate, where a similar fight over the dividend tax cut is ex pected to precede . final congres sional action on the biggest tax overhaul in 75 years. Uemocrats moved to strike from the biU a disputed provision to per mit taxpayers to subtract 4 per cent of their dividend income from the taxpayimcnt they otherwise would make.

Porter was apparently ready to concede his loss of the first round in the case of Donald E. Bailey, who was al legedly "boss convict" at the Ore gon State Penitentiary before his disappearance last Nov. 13. But Porter wasn't ready to quit. After his writ of habeas cor pus action was dismissed (See Page 1), Porter said he would let his affidavits for contempt of court against Warden Gladden and Sheriff Baird stand. "I think we'll go right ahead with the contempt proceedings," he said. Porter even indicated he felt strengthened by the action. He' said a "conspiracy" set up the dis missal of his writ action. He said the contempt proceedings have been based on the. "rescue" of Bailey by Gladden when he was in Sheriff Baird's custody. Porter May Appeal The affidavits of contempt charge Gladden with taking the prisoner away after the writ had Station Marks Another 'First In Court News News Director Robert Grant of Roseburg's radio station KRNR was gloating over an other "first" in his station's ra dio news .coverage. At noon Tuesday, he released a tape recording of proceedings of the writ of habeas corpus ac tion involving convict Donald Bailey. Grant reports this is ap parently the first time in Oregon a court action has been broad cast before the proceeding has been completed. The action In this case was completed Tues day afternoon. "This is by no means blank et authority," Grant said, "but it is indicative of progress." The authority to release was given Tuesday by Circuit Judge Pro Tempore John L.

They ask that both men be made to "show cause" 1 why they should not be arrested for contempt. No date has been set by the court for ceedings. Porter said he would probably, not appeal the dismissal of his writ of habeaus corpus. He said he would confer with Bailey's Port land attorney, Pat Hannon, with Bailey and with the Oregon Pri son Assn. before deciding definit ely. Although he did not expand on the statement, he said he under stood the attorney general's opin ion would be "solicited" as to "whether or not an Oregon State Penitentiary inmate can be-con-fined in a county jail under such circumstances." He called this the important question to be settled. , Tenmile Soldier, Overseas, Falls Victim To Polio The son of a Tenmile couple is a polio victim in a Philippine Is land hospital, reports Mrs. Louisa Coats, News - Review correspon dent.

A moisture count of 15 to 20 per cent this spring is now down to 6 to 8 per rent. It may be lower next month, they add. Simultaneously, tne weamer Bu reau points out that all storms are now going north of this area. It adds that the most to be expected from these storms is high cloudi ness. Only reliefs possible, it con storms which could cause measur able precipitation. But no rainfall over a lare area. Any fire starting in the forest now, says DFPA, would roar through the heavy slash and burn up much timber. There are lookouts now all post ed, who observe the forests con tinuously, from the 15 lookout sta tions in the mountains. Three main lookouts keep fire weather sta tions. They report daily to imta headquarters at noon at 4:30 p.m. lo post on eather conditions. Not only has the July rainfall been below normal (normal preci pitation in 'Roseburg is .20 inches). but June rainfall was also down Total rainfall for June. 1.05 inch es, was .30 below normal. July's low could be corrected, WCA Agents Schedule Walkout For Monday SEATTLE 11 A union official said Tuesday a system-wide strike against West Coast Airlines has been scheduled for 12:01 a.m. Aug. 2 by the AFL Air Line Agents' Assn. in a. contract dispute. Victor J. Herbert of Chicago, acting president of the association, came here in connection with the dispute and announced 150 agents would slay away from work but do not plan to picket West Coast of fices. The association, affiliated with Hie Air Line Pilots' Assn., recently conducted a strike vote. Herbert said the agents have been seeking a wage increase of about 6 per cent, and time and a half for work above eight hours a day. He said the company has of fered an increase of about 2 V4 per cent. Company Claim Differs A company spokesman said wage demands of the agents were closer to 9 than 6 per cent. He said the company had offered in creases up lo 4 Vi per cent.

Tn addition to lack of rain. tulv has been warmer than usual. Normally this month is the warm est ana orient ui uic cmue year, the weatherman says, but every, thing seems to be sent in double measure this year. The July normal high temper ature is 83.4 degrees. The normal low temperature is 54.3. Thu vear the norms have been lower, due to cooler night-time read ings, but the thermometer has climbed right up during the day. Biggest contributing factor to the fires, according to the Weather Bureau, is evaporation and drying caused by the low humidity. Humidity Stays Low Humidity has been low almost very day this month ranging be tween 20 to 30 per cent most of the time.' . Thus far the weather , bureau ,ajs Douglas County residents haven't suffered through a reil scorcher of a day. Warmest day in July came in 1946 when a rec ord 109 degrees was recorded. DFPA people add that the east wind this month has raised havoc throughout Douglas County. They They say that the lower areas here are drying out rapidly now: that the drought has not. been as severe in the higher areas. Right now, Dispatcher Wayne Miller s?ys, brush and grass lands are giving DFPA the most trouble. Three to four brush and gra35 fires daily are' put out by. the association. This year the area has dried out faster than 1953, and there have been more fires. He added there would be danger from any lightning and thunder storms in August and September. Five Suppression Crews The DFPA has five suppression crews, numbering 58 men, in this district. Including 10 men at Elk- Ion; 10 at Hinkle Creek (East of Sutherlin); eight at the Roseburg headquarters; 20 at Canyonville; and 10 at Quines Creek near Glen dale. . . - Dispatcher Miller isn't happy with' smokers and careless rubbish burners. He says five blazes this year have been started by thoughtless smokers. S e v e rat times, he adds, rubbish burners, without permits, have . started brush and grass fires. There have been no major fire yet this year. The Douglas Forest Protective Assn. attributes this to quick work bv lookouts, help from countless citizens and the care used by loggers In the woods. It was quick to commend the loggers for safe operations. STEARNS Cr LITTLE MORTUARY Mr. & Mrs. Vernon Little Managing Owners Our service is for all ond meets every need. Any distance, any time.
